• Resumen

  • Waste oil must be re-refined at all? Or simply burn it all and forget about it? Today's waste oil is burnt and dumped, thus causing serious and unnecessary pollution of the environment, contamination of the rivers, seas, water sources, soil and atmosphere. Industry and government, both, have fundamental responsibility to use every option open to them to reduce pollution and to re-use and recycle before producing more. One of the most effective recycling possibilities is the re-refining. The lubricating oil business is large, profitable, and complex. The new technologies in re-refining produce base oils of highest quality which can equal the performance of virgin oil. The ECOROIL Project carried forward by three companies from different sectors, FL. Iberia - Infineum - Cator, S.A. -, has demonstrated it. The paper also provides some light aspects about waste oil and re-refined oils in the last years in Spain.
